Description

  The present invention relates to a storage box and a body case thereof, and more particularly to a storage box and a body case of a storage device for storing a device such as a hard disk drive or a memory module therein.

  As is well known, a storage device (for example, a hard disk drive or a memory module) can store many electronic files and is one of important computer peripherals. In order to make it easy to use an electronic file that carries a storage device and stores it inside, a storage box in which the storage device is stored has been developed by a manufacturer. The storage device can be protected and the appearance of the storage device can be displayed.

With the advancement of technology and the demand for use, the speed of the storage device becomes higher and the capacity thereof is increasing. In addition to protecting the storage device, the storage box needs to ensure the operational efficiency and stability of the storage device.

  A storage box of a conventional storage device includes a carrier and an upper lid, like a “storage box for computer peripheral equipment” posted in Patent Document 1. A storage space is formed in the carrier, and a storage device (for example, a hard disk drive) is stored therein. The upper lid is in sliding contact with the carrier to prevent the storage device from falling off.

  The storage box carrier of the conventional storage device can be made of an aluminum alloy material so as to have a heat dissipation function. When the storage device is stored in the storage space, the metal member (for example, a metal case) on the surface of the storage device cannot sufficiently contact the carrier. As a result, the heat dissipation function of the storage box is poor, and the operation efficiency of the storage device is lowered. In addition, this storage box does not have an electromagnetic shielding function, and the stability of the storage device cannot be ensured. In addition, the cost of the aluminum alloy material is high and the appearance is insufficient.

  In addition, a gap exists between the storage device and the storage box. When the storage box is vibrated or subjected to an impact by an external force, the storage device is also affected by the external force, and the electronic file stored therein is destroyed.

As described above, it can be seen that the storage box of the conventional storage device clearly has inconveniences and disadvantages in actual use and is expected to be improved.
